Week 3, Cooking with Kim!

Chicken Croissants

• 1 8oz pkg cream cheese
• 2 c cooked chicken
• 4 T butter
• 1/2 t lemon pepper (I always add a ton more... LOVE lemon pepper!)
• bread crumbs (I add parsley for flavor, but the Italian bread crumbs that Lynette taught would be super yummy)
• melted butter
• croissant rolls (if you use the recipe below you will have about twice as much dough as needed, so adjust or make orange rolls!)

Heat oven to 375. Mix chicken, cream cheese, butter and lemon pepper. Roll up mixture in croissant dough. Roll in melted butter, followed by bread crumbs. Bake 15-20 min.Tastes great with gravy on top... my favorite is cream of chicken soup and cream cheese combined and warmed... not the healthiest, but very good.

Croissant Rolls

• 2 ½ c warm water (not hot)
• 3 T yeast- sprinkle
• ½ c sugar on top

Let develop (about 10 minutes)

Add & knead (add flour if needed):

• ½ c oil
• ½ t salt
• 2 eggs
• 6 c flour

Let rise. Divide into 4 balls. Roll into circles and cut into 12 triangles (I prefer to use a pizza cutter). Roll & bake 15-20 min. at 375.

Orange Rolls

• ½ c butter
• ½ c sugar
• 1 T orange peel

Combine and spread on roll dough.

Don't know what I was thinking... we made soooo much food! 100 chicken croissants and well over 100 orange & plain croissants. At least they were yummy!

We made over 100 croissants... YUMMY!
